Listen "Freebirthing as an expat in New Caledonia after hospital birth || Stacey's birth of 'Atlas' at home (New Caledonia) "
Episode Synopsis
Episode 7 takes us juuuust across the Coral Sea, to New Caledonia where Stacey, her husband Paul and their first born 4 year old Aydan (born in hospital in Kalgoorlie), welcomed baby Atlas. Stacey tells us a bit about the maternity system in New Caledonia and why she was left not much choice but to take the step and freebirth Atlas. I loved this story, but am also saddened by how the medicalisation of maternity care is also, alike Australia, associated with British and French colonialism in New Caledonia. Freebirth story begins approx 9:10 I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did!
